FAQ for Para Bellum

Based on some of the best unit mods for Rome II, like Ancient Armies and Haegemonia, I tried to preserve the high quality and the historical look they bring. It also adds factional variations for certain units, for example the different hoplites types (militia, light, picked, etc.) of the GC and WoS look different in each faction, so the panoply varies with different equipment typologies, custom shield designs, etc. This way there are more than 75 different hoplites. Also there is a lot of diversity between the iberians and celtiberians, and for the pikemen units. This feature is still WIP and will be expanded eventually in future updates.

Though I recommend to use all the modules together, they can work separately so you can apply what you want, but keeping the order regardless of the number of subscribed parts.

Even though Para Bellum is designed in a modular way which facilitates compatibility, each part is independent and is specifically designed to work together with the other mods of the collection. Please note that Para Bellum includes lots of new tables and thousands of new entries, and if combined with other mods of the same type or that share content, it will be overwritten and will mess up proper functioning although the game runs apparently fine. Therefore, I only bring support for the mods included in the Para Bellum Official Mods and the Submods and compatible mods Collections that you can find above in the description.

- Multiplayer compatibility only if both players have exactly the same contents (mods and/or GEMFX installed and subscribed). Also the Para Bellum Multiplayer patch is highly recommended (contained in the Para Bellum submods Collection).

- Compatible with all DLC campaigns and contents.

- Ancestral Update (Patch 20) compatible.
